Police scanner code question????

Question

Ok, I have a test coming up so I thought I would brush up on my scanner codes. I was looking them over when I found "code 604". This code reads "Throwing Missils".

Ok - Why do they need a code for this ??????

Answer 1

In the course of duty --men may take their trousers down and try to seperate their genitals from their bodies--throwing the offending items ---this is what its all about.

Answer 2

"Missles" refers to any object being thrown, such as a rock or lump of wood etc.

Let's say a bunch of people hurl objects at Police during a riot...technically they are hurling "missles", and in some States the specific offence for such includes 'throw missle" as a charge.

Thus there's a radio code for it in some juridictions.

Probably not what you had in mind right?
